Description
The Elder God of Darkness wages war upon Taelurien, and my permanent employer, Lord Jakar, Champion of Volroc, has sent me from Cormyr to the coastal city of Valra. Here I shall meet a local contact of mine who will expect me in the Temple of Solyana, in Valra's noble district. His name is Nico Taerlian, and since General Jakar did not come out with it in the first place, I am eager to see what kind of work is to be done...
This is a tale not only of winter in the world, but also of the winter a man can carry in his heart. It tells of a hired assassin in a time of twilight. The general background tone of the adventure is one of melancholy, and its anti-hero, who is included with the module, is not a mortal fiend or fanatic, but a fallen, sometimes even noble, human.
The module's story is finished and completely stand-alone. A sequel would have started out with a wholly different premise, as a new "episode".

I read that there will be no sequel. How wrapped-up is this mod's ending? _________________________ One feels inclined to say that the idea that man should be "happy" is not included in the plan of "creation". - Sigmund Freud

I chose an "adult" rating because of "interactive" courtesans in the bordello.

Maybe I didn't ask... why is the content rated adult? _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them. Thanks, Steve

A fun one. I played through with the default character. Good atmosphere, some unique moments, and the tasks certainly put you in the role of an assassin. Couldn't give a 10, though, because I didn't enjoy the final battle. I think my character was missing one of the module's more powerful items, but even so, it didn't seem to follow with the rest of the module's tone.

Sure you have a point but sometimes that silly adventurer need to take chances if he/she wants to find a plot item (e.g. key). I will retry it with your specified char or with one of mine.

*lol* I think I understand your post correctly... Yes, 'Ed' is some kind of a nuisance, if in no way obligatory to complete the dungeon... Just something for an evil-minded DM to watch the fun of players getting killed for carelessly tossing over ages-old stone urns ;)

* Minor Spoiler * Had a good time early on with my rogue/druid but while looking for a key my char got lost in a crypt/maze (may be it was a portal malfunction). Found a NPC (Ed) but he is not the guy I was looking for, I guess he does not have the key I need. Worse, I think that spell killed me... Now since we are in good terms with some of the Dark Powers may be some reaper guy could do something to fix the situation. Not a chance.

Really Nice, Linear but who's to say a good story needs to be open ended.
